Saira Khan stunned the Loose Women panelists when she revealed her husband once used a spreadsheet to compare her to his ex-girlfriend.

The topic came up on Thursdays show when the ladies were discussing jealousy over previous girlfriends, also known as retroactive jealousy.

And although 47-year-old Saira insisted that she hadnt suffered from the problem with her current hubby Steve Hyde, she then went on to tell a funny story involving a spreadsheet shed once found.

She explained: “This is no joke and I wasnt looking for [the spreadsheet], but I was going out with my now-husband and hed left to go to work and I think Id dropped an earring and I was looking under the bed and I pulled out this book.

“And on it was a spreadsheet and it had got me and his ex-girlfriends!”

As her fellow panelists – Andrea McLean, Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson – looked shocked at the candid confession, she continued: “My husbands a real geek and I think in his mind, it was quite a big decision, do I go with her or do I go with her?

“Hed done a spreadsheet with things like kindness, attractive, you know what.”

Following the unusual story, The Apprentice star then revealed that she “hadnt got very many ticks”, but “got the ticks where it mattered.”
